While a Texas car accident is occurring, it can be a harrowing and trying experience. You may hear people yelling, sirens blaring, see crushed glass and injured bodies, and be scared for the welfare of you and your passengers.

Your first priority after being injured in a Texas car wreck should be to get immediate medical attention. There is nothing more important than the health of you and all those involved, and attending to any injuries you have should be your only concern.

Once you have some distance from the Texas car crash, you may have questions that keep running through your head:
• Who caused the wreck?
• Did my vehicle's safety features function as stated?
• Will the insurance company believe my story?
• Can I earn compensation from a negligent driver?
• What sort of compensation can I expect?
• Should I hire a lawyer?
• Which lawyer should I contact first?
• What will they charge me?
• What kind of timeline am I looking at?

The easiest way to get answers to these questions is to contact a Board Certified Houston car accident attorney as soon as possible. You can set-up an appointment for your own complimentary, no-obligation meeting with a Board Certified attorney to answer your questions at a time that works with your schedule.

It is true that you may be able to recover damages from a wreck with a negligent driver. Determining the true faulty party of the accident may take time, and there is a good chance the insurance companies may disagree on who was really at fault. The financial compensation may include money for your:

• medical bills
• permanent damage
• ongoing care or physical therapy
• missed time at work
• pain or emotional suffering
• your wrecked or totaled vehicle

However, the insurance companies won't just hand you a check. Often times the insurance companies will battle you with everything they've got to avoid paying you what you deserve, all the while acting like they're on your side. Remember, this is how insurance companies make their money, by not paying out settlements. You need someone on your side who has your best interests in mind. And someone who knows how insurance companies and their high priced legal team operate.

Your best bet is to speak with a Board Certified Texas car accident lawyer to learn more about your legal options. In fact, many Board Certified Texas attorneys will sit down for a legal consolation free of charge or obligation.
